Mercurial has the ability to load extensions dynamically. All that is required is to modify ~/.hgrc.
In order to add an extension open ~/.hgrc in your preferred text editor. Then look for a line that looks like [extensions]. If you don't find one add it to file. Under this line you can add a large number of extensions. Stock mercurial comes with a number of useful extensions (although none of them are turned on by default).
The following are the ones I found useful.
color - displays output from some commands in color
fetch - does hg fetch; hg update; hg merge in one command
graphlog - command to view revision graphs from a shell
progress (hgext.progress) - shows progress of some commands
to learn more about extensions type hg help extensions into the command line.
